Rustige area.

Dit is 'n verstommende rustige plek. Met ons aankoms om 15h00 het ons besluit om die naweek af te skop met 'n kort rustige middag slapie. Dit was so rustig dat ons die volgende dag 08h00 eers wakker geword het! 17 ure se slaap - heeltemal vergeet van braai! Jammer ons het nie die omgewing genoeg verken nie, maar die slaap was fantasties! Die lugversorging was baie effektief op een van die warmste dae wat ek nog in die omgewing beleef het.

Quiet area.

It is an amazingly peaceful place. Upon our arrival at 15h00 we decided to kick off the weekend with a short peaceful afternoon nap. It was so peaceful that we didn't wake up until 08:00 the next day! 17 hours of sleep - completely forgot about barbecue! Sorry we didn't explore the area enough, but the sleep was fantastic! The air conditioning was very effective on one of the hottest days I have ever experienced in the area.

Fantastic stay with beautiful views.

The mountain views partnered with the nice countryside farms around made the environment special to us. The little river with nice amenities close to the banks made it very welcoming to go relax alongside the waters. Being only 30-40 min drive to Franschhoek we had a great time in the area as well.

Ideale plekkie om te vergeet van die woeling in die stad.

John en Di is super vriendelik en baie behulpsaam. Die plekkie is baie goed toegerus en silwerskoon. Ongelooflike mooi omgewing en selfs na 1 na het dit gevoel of ons op 'n vakansie was. Hoogs aan te beveel.

Heerlike verblyf in 'n netjiese, pragtige omgewing.

Ons 1-nag verblyf by Rietspruit Country Cottage was 'n goeie roep. John het ons gasvry ontvang en ons baie welkom laat voel. Alles was besonder netjies en ruim, terwyl Di en John ook aan daardie dinge wat dikwels afwesig is by ander soortgelyke blyplekke, gedink het, bv. smaaklike beskuit, filterkoffie, ekstra fasiliteit om klere uit te hang, skottelgoed opwasmiddel, luukse handseep, ens. Die koninggrootte-bed het heerlik geslaap. Dit alles in 'n pragtige omgewing en naby 'n rustige dam met voëllewe.

This review is being shown in its original language.

Lovely stay in a neat, beautiful environment.

Our 1-night stay at Rietspruit Country Cottage was a good call. John received us hospitably and made us feel very welcome. Everything was particularly neat and spacious, while Di and John also thought of those things that are often absent from other similar places to stay, e.g. tasty biscuits, filter coffee, extra facility for hanging out clothes, dishwashing liquid, luxury hand soap, etc. The king size bed slept great. All this in beautiful surroundings and close to a peaceful pond with bird life.

Rustige atmosfeer met vriendelike gashere.

Wat 'n wonderlike verrassing diep in die berge! Rietspruit is sentraal geleë tussen Franschhoek en Robertson. Die kamer was baie netjies en niks het kortgekom nie. Daar was selfs kans om 'n bietjie te roei saam met die eende op die dammetjie.

Heerlik stil en een rustige landelike omgewing.

De rus was heerlik. As ek enige kritiek mag lewer: 'n Kwassie verf kan dit nog mooier maak. En ek is verstokte braaiers en dan is so 'n blik (Weber) nie wat ek soek.

The cottage we stayed in was suitable for 2 sharing people. The property was very beautiful and the surrounding mountains breathtaking.

We were 4 adults sharing and there was only one bathroom en suite to the double room downstairs. Sharing a bathroom attached to the main bedroom does not cater for 3 or more adults. The additional accommodation upstairs (2 single beds) connects via a spiral staircase which needs some stabilisation to make it feel secure. Also, the sound from the upstairs bedroom floor being walked on was very noisy downstairs. The property is approx. 10 km outside Villiersdorp but does provide cooking facilities and the scenery on the property and the surrounding mountains are picture beautiful.

Die diens kan nie beter nie, hulle gaan uit hulle pad om jou te help. Dit was die beste besluit wat ek nog gemaak het om daarheen te gaan vir 'n wegbreek. Hulle het uit hulle pad gegaan om my versoek te laat waar word en die "special touch" wat hulle gegee het was regtig uitstekend. Die plek is rustig, skoon en baie netjies. Ek sal hulle sterk aanbeveel. Dit is regtig 'n lekker plek vir oorbly.

Met die plaasagtige gevoel om ons en hoenders wat rondloop was dit 'n fees om daar te kon bly!

Dit is een van die mooiste plekkies waar ons gebly het. Die huisie is so mooi uitgelê. Silwerskoon beddens en so ook die huisie self. Die plaasatmosfeer is so heerlik met die hoenders, ganse, tarentale, bokke en perde. Wou nie die Sondag terugry huis toe nie. John is ook 'n baie vriendelike individu. Sal die plekkie enige tyd by iemand aanbeveel. Hoop ons word weer na 'n troue toe genooi in Villiersdorp, want sal glad nie omgee om weer daar te bly nie.

With the farm-like feel around us and chickens running around it was a feast to be able to stay there!

It is one of the most beautiful places we have stayed. The house is so beautifully laid out. Silver clean beds and so is the house itself. The farm atmosphere is so lovely with the chickens, geese, guinea fowl, goats and horses. Didn't want to drive back home on Sunday. John is also a very friendly individual. Would recommend the place to anyone anytime. Hope we get invited to a wedding again in Villiersdorp, because I wouldn't mind staying there again.
